Minnesota Vikings impending free-agent LB Chad Greenway has mutual interest in re-signing with the Vikings, and head coach Mike Zimmer wants him back. Greenway played about half of the snaps in the team's base defense last season to preserve his health, and he could be in a starting or part-time role.

Minnesota Vikings LB Chad Greenway was on the field for only 16 snaps during the Week 2 game against the Detroit Lions, which was the lowest snap total in his career. Greenway has been asked to stop the running game and his pass coverage duties will be determined by how much the team will stay in their base coverage.

Minnesota Vikings LB Chad Greenway is expected to be the Vikings' starting weakside linebacker this season, according to head coach Mike Zimmer. Zimmer said Greenway is the team's best weakside linebacker and Greenway took all the snaps with the first-team defense during organized team activities and minicamp.
